Manifesto

I promise to be authentic. I promise to be honest to myself when creating work for you. I promise that I will show you what the world sees rather than what you see or don’t see on the outside. That you are truly beautiful, that the flaws that you think are giant ugly targets are actually unique and perfectly you, describing every incredible thing about you. You see frizzy hair, we see fabulous character. You see skinny legs, we see you running the distance. I promise to capture all those wonderful flaws and give you a new healthier perspective of yourself.

HAIR & MAKEUP

senior sessions (sans Gents) Include professional hair and makeup styling by a local stylist in either north county or SLO, which ever is preferred. They know exactly how to apply camera ready makeup that will last throughout the session and bring out your natural beauty.

Thoughtful Collections

each collection includes both digital and printed images. I don't believe in handing over a USB/CD/Online gallery and calling it good. I want you to touch and feel and look at your images every day. I believe in printing your images, not letting your CD collect dust in a drawer somewhere forgotten!

NATURAL LIGHTON LOCATION SESSIONS

Senior sessions are a minimum of 1.5 hours on location shooting. We can go anywhere we have permission to be, and our central coast is blooming with killer locations.

Natural Retouching

You will not have plastic baby doll skin texture after your images are retouched. I believe in pores and freckles. I will not change your eye color to match the flowers or the sky. I will not over sharpen, over contrast, or over saturate your image either. I will polish it, and I will make it look finished. your welcome:)

QUALITY PRINTING

I will not send you home without prints. Every senior session has a specified number of archival quality prints wrapped up in museum quality packaging.

“Yes {I would recommend JHP} this was memorable for me because I love photos and to be taking photos with someone who makes me laugh, smile, and feel great about myself makes me want to just go and take more photos with you!”

“I would not have wanted anyone else for my senior pictures. The whole experience feels so luxurious and you really feel like you're getting your money worth. There is so much attention to detail that you don't get with other photographers. Overall an incredible experience!”

“It was so incredibly easy to book the session, incredibly efficient with the follow up, etc. As far as the session, Janese made me feel comfortable immediately, it was such a fun experience, it will stay in my memory for many years!”

“If you want an experience that captures your true personality while at the same time having lots of fun, being creative, and enjoying a milestone in your life, then you must book a session with JHP! You will never regret the investment and time that you make in capturing priceless moments like these!”

“Janese Hockman made my senior photoshoot a memorable and unforgettable experience! Janese was perfect in communication through email and text, and she gave me an amazing spot to shoot my pictures! I love Janese because she came to me with a positive attitude and willing to work with whatever and whenever! I can’t wait to share my pictures online and refer all my followers to this amazing woman because she deserves all the credit!”
